PRO TEAL No. 27, Great George-s reet, Westminster, and 7, Laurence Pountney-bill, C ty. The Company is formed for the pu-pose of carrying into effect an agr ement made for the purchase of the undermen tioned oal, ron, and other Works, which have for a long time been carried on with very satisfactory results by private in dvidual4, and are capable of considerable expansion, with greatly increased profits. Tile Properties and Work 4 have been purchased on very favourable terms, on valua,ions made by eminent mining en. sneers. The Works consist of 1. The Ebbw Vale Collieries and Iron Works. 2. The Sirhowy t ollieries and Iron Works. 3. The Viet ria Collieries and Iron Works. 4. The Abersychan C illieries and Iron Works. 5. The Pontypool Collieries and Iron end Tin-plate Works. 6.

Hmmatit• lon an Coal Galeasr, s r Royalties in the leorest of Dean. in the con i y of Gloucester 9. The Brendon Hills Carbonate of Ir.,n or Spathose M nes, in the county of somerset. And the Estates comprise :- 3,251 acres 0 1 Fre hold Land and Mines. 7.215 acres of Leasehold Mines, and agr ements for leases havin upwards of 8 yea s unexpired 0,137 acres of Leasehold Mines, having from 10 to 50 years unexpi red 70 , . acres of Mine- in the Forest of Dean, held under a Crown lease, re , iewable in perpetuity for perio a of .1 years. About 9 miles in length, or about 3, 00 acres on the course of the Spathose iron ore veins, in Somersetsh re, under leases for about 50 years unexpired. The leaseho d coal and iron-stone royalties are weld on very i ,, aderaie terms. There are upwards of 2,000 houses and cottages on the free hold and leasehold estates. The rentals from land, farms, and houses, amount to about £15,000 -year. The works afford employment to more than 15,000 persons, repre-enting a population of 00,1.00 people. Schools f _r the ascommo :ation of 2,200 children, and a Me chanics' Institute have been erected upon the estates. There are 23 b'as , -furnaces, of which 16 are in operation at the present time—three being cold blast. The present annual producl of the various col ieries is 850,000 tons of coal ; and this quantity can, with a compara tively sma 1 outlay, be increased to 1 mil ion tons annually. The produce of iron-stone is 280,000 tons annu .11y, which can be increased to 410,000 tons. Th iron-making coals on these properties are of a superior quality, free fro, sulphur, and eminently adapted for the manufacture of the best class of iron or steel. The present annual yield from the furnaces is about 130,0 , 0 tons of pig iron, including 12,000 tons of P ntypool cold blast, but 'he arrangements are adapted for the production of 180.0 , 0 tons. About 90,000 tons of r ils and finished iron are sold annually, which can be increased to 120,000 tons with the present appllanc a. All the properties are very favourably placed in regard to Si nation of wor a and facilities of ransport. The c al and iron-stone mines, which are now drained end proved, will B uPri y the pr. sent consumption, without any material in crease of dead charges or outlay of capital, for upwards of 50 ye re ; and with a small outlay will yield a further supply of ceo,( 00 to aof coal per annum, for household and team par- Poses, for a like period. The hmmatite iron ore and coal properties held in the Forest of Dean will shortly be opened, and pl cod in direct communication by railway with the various iron works, the distances between which an the place of pro duction will be irom 2 to 42 miles only whilst this clas of • ore is now arried to the works 3 0 miles by water and $0 miles by rail The Forest of Dean ore contains from 30 to 42 per cent. Of iron, and is well known for its superior quality over other hrem tite ores for the manufacture of the best iron and steel. It is estimated that, when iul y ope ed, the mines now held by the Company will produce 100,000 tons annually for 5d ears. The very extensive and valuable mines of spathose iron ore, in Somersetshire. belon ing exclusively to the ompany, are the only mines of their kind now being worked in In at Britain, excep ins the small veins found in the Durham lead Mines When these mines are fully developed tne works of the Company will possess a :vantages greate r than any other works in the supply of this most valuable materia for the manufacture of the best quality of irtm and steel. And the cost of producing spieg,eleisn (pig iron with this ore will not exceed half the present cost of spiegeleisn deliv red in England from Germany, whi h country furnishes near y the whole of the supply required for the present consump tion.

Naval and Military Intelligence, The Fteld-Marshal Commanding-in. Chief will hold a Levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday next, the 6th July. The Dauntless, 31, screw steamship, 580 horse power, Capt. J. N. Strange, having undergone most extensive re airs, both of hull and machinery, in the large basin at Sheerness, previous to her departure for the Humber as Coastguard ship at that station, was taken to the measured mile off Maplin Sands yesterday, in command of Ca tain W. K, Hall, C.B , chief of the Sheerness Steam Re serve. for the trial of her engines. Two runs were male with full boiler power, which gave a result of 9 291 knots per hour; the draught of water on the trial was, for ward, 17tt sln ; aft, 18ft Bin. After the runs on the mile the vessel was taken at full speed a long run round the Mouse Light and back to the Little Nore, where she is now anchored. By orders received from the Admiralty the Dauntless was told off as one of the Coastguard vessels in readiness to proceed at once to the Baltic, if necessary. She gill now proceed to Leith with the crew of the Trafalgar, which had navigated the Edinhurgh, late Coastguard vessel in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness. After this she will, previously to being taken to her station in the Hum ber, be manned by Coastguard men and proceed on a cruise. She is fully rigged, and has on board all her stores, armament, and ammunition. The trial at the measured mile is reported to have been very satisfactory. The Caledonia, 36, ironcased ship, 4,125 tons, 1,000 horse power, master in charge jlenry S. Ley, will leave Sheerness this day for Plymouth, in command of Com mander G. J. Hodges, assist.-master attendant, Sheerness Dockyard. She will be manned by riggers from the dock yard, and the men belonging to the Steam Reserve at Sheerness. The Racoon, steam corvette, 29, Capt. Count Gleichen, with Prince Alfred on board, arrived in Leith Roads on Wednesday morning, and took in coals. She was to leave next morning for the coast of Norway. An address of congratulation was presented on Tuesday by the Provost and Council of Musselburgh to Admiral Sir David Milne, K.C.8., on occasion of his safe return to hie seat at Inveresk, with Lady Milne and family, after an ab sence of about six years. .I.—lncraase and Decrease in the periods ended June 30, Bas co mpared with the correspon di ng p er i o d s o f th e l 64, preceding year: Quarter ended June Year ended June 3;, 1861. 3u, 1864. - I ncrease.

" Cha r le s to n un ei"kitl, is a sketch sure to meet with attention e'4 juncture. In conclusion, it states that the kellif t commander is as far from the reduction of Charleston as hisz . was a year ago. Old Sumter in its ruins is as strong as ever. "Dreary Court Sky" is a very lugubrious effusion, suited to those who like melancholy verses. It is pretty in its expressions, and the style is flowing, An article on ~~. " Some Points of the Eton Report" concludes the number. It advocates the study of elocution more particularly than it is at present attended. It is truly said that " to be really el. quent is in the power of few ; but to 8. - 4. y what one has to say to an assembly fluently, intelligently, and not di-- DUBLIN.—There is a new story commenced by the author of " Wylder's Hind," &c. It is impossible to form much opinion of it at this 't,, a early stage, but it promises to coot; in much agreeably, is in the power of almost ev ry man who is not a fool or a stammerer, provided he has learnt to do it. English lawyers and actors can always do it, because they have taken the trouble to acquire the art ; very few other Englishmen can." of that mystery and excitement which have hitherto imparted so much attraction to the pages of the author's earlier productions. Maude, the heroine, is a very pleasing young maiden, as she appears before us in this portion of the tale ; and some of the othzr characters. especially Lady Knolls, are well sketched, "Charles Townshetd, Wit and Statesman," is the subject of an article. It is interesting to peruse, and contains much to win attentiun. The description of his mother is very remarkable; like moat celebrated men, he had a clever mother, but one of a most erratic class ; her sayings and doings were brilliant and most singular, but doubtless they accorded well with the tastes and habits of TEMPLE BAR.- ." The Doctor's Wife" ie. con. tinueo, and approches the crisis of its narrative. rhe transition stages of Isabci's mied.are very aptly pourtray ed; and it is very well described bow the studies to which the romantic and ill-disciplined her day. Speaking of Townshend, the writer remarks that he belonged to a more dramatic style than exists in our time. "We look back to the stirring days in which he lived, and his white plume was seen tossing in the heart of the struggle." This is the first part only of this distin guished man's career, and therefore the more exciting events will be discoursed upon more fully afterwards. This sketch girl resorted had the effect of impriving r.tr rniud, :is well as serving as means for passing the time. " It. is impe.siblo to live in the constant corn- does ample justice to Townshend, while it amply pourtrays one who well delineated as a strange compound of "wild- nese, impetuosity, daring, singular intellectual power, and dazzling brilliancy." " the History of a Hero" is a very strange production. It is in imitation of Carlyle, and chooses a " humbler rogue" to descant upon, instead of the more remarkable individual selected by the great writer. This sketch is cleverly carried on throughout, and will most likely entertain some readers. It is a very apt illustration of the manner in which nowadays many persons delude themselves panionship of great writers without growing wiser and better in their grave and genial company. Slow end subtle is the influence that is exercised, unconscious the improvement that is wtought, but not the less certain." It seems sad to discover that just at the epoch when her mind was forming and her judgment accepting commonsense no tions, that the temptation again assailed her, but such is natural. Those who do not act on principle must expect to meet with risks, when they feel safe; to encounter evils, when they imagine they have secured themselves from their approach. Painful as this story is, it is nevertheless im possible not to acknowledge its fascinating influence. Its temptations and troubles are so naturally described and faithfully depicted, that the reader may well fancy that a page of real life is unfolded before him instead of an ima ginary chronicle and a fancied portraiture of events. The other two tales are also in a state of progression. "Broken to Harness" contains some melancholy episodes in this instal- meat. The Churchills do not find that their new life is so pleasant as they had pictured it, and Barbara's uncomfott _ into believing cheats and villains to be geniuses and men of talent, and when thdy undergo the penalty of their crimes, call them heroes and martyrs. It is to be trusted that some of the Waists will peruse this sketch, and judge for them selves how their impressions look In black and white. " Yaxley and its Neighbourhood," becomes more exciting in this number, it discloses some important facts to our notice. In the first place, Mrs. Pilmer behaves so violently to Lizette that the poor young girl has to leave ; her great aunt at last acknowledges her, and she goes to live with her—a most uncongenial home. Luke Bayly is making all sorts of mischief and preparing other troubles for the future. He gets a large snm from Mrs. Pilmer on pretence of having ___. . found the will of Mrs. Meiklam. This story is very simply but very impressively told, and many of the dramatis per- sonce are sketched true to nature. "The Grand-Tout," this time, takes us from " Dresdem to Vienna" The various accounts are pleasingly told, and some information worthy of knowledge may be gleaned from these pictures of foreign lands. "Edmond About and the Landes" is a summary of able position may serve as a warning to those who under take more tban they can manage. Kate Mellon is foolish enough to give heed to slander, and seems in danger of be ing made the tool of a sharper. In " Paid in Full" Led bitter's designs are continued, and the plot is becoming de veloped. The adventures of Horace Bentley are very amusingly chronicled, and his attempts at the part of a dra matist are most ludicrous. " In Church" is a peculiar sketch in verse, which hardly befits the style of its subject as regards reverence, and seems to make jokes on matters which should be treated otherwise. " Victor Hugo on Shakspere" is an article that is appropriate at the present time. It is said in conclusion that it is well when the people of both the countries of England and France are versed in the literature of each, and best of all, that they should sincerely admire and justly appreciate in common the immortal writings of Shakspere. "Tree to the Last" is a sketch of a very silly young man who deserved the fate that he met with. " Church-street," Liverpool, figures this month among Mr Sala's " Streets of the World." It is sketched in his usual racy style. Other subjects of interest com plete the varied contents of the number, amid which appear " A Druse Funeral on Mount Lebanon," " Catherine the First, Empress of Russia," and some expressive lines at the end, " Traces on the Sand " ~~~~ the writings of this author, and we are told that his al licit and critical powers are very great, as they appear in his "lively and agreeabl e stories." Ihe passages here pre sented of his works are certainly entertaining, and setm to abound in quaint description and original observation. There are some verses on the birthday of Shakespere, which are written in a spirited style, and the writer seems im• Pressed with the importance of his theme. "Notes on the condition of Ireland" makes some very just remarks as to N the prejudice which exists respecting Ireland, when people ought to be more tolerant. " Those silly scats work a large amount of mischief, and they are unworthy a great and intellectual people. As an assumption of superiority, they are gratuitous ; as an expression of contempt, they are irritating; and on the score of policy, they are a grave mistake." FRASER.—Several topics of interest are discussed in Fraser this month. The "Land Revenue of India' , occupies a prominent place among them, and without coinciding in all the writer's views, we commend this carefully written article to all who are interested in studying this great question. Mr. Rossetti contributes a paper on the Royal Academy Exhi bition, which can hardly fail to gratify the lover of art, though it shows just sufficient acerbity to befit an orthodox artistic criticism. The writer r, minds us that lest year, in a similar review, he specially dwelt upon three points. He observed that the British school was becoming tinctured by foreign infk.nces, more particularly French ones; he die cussed the influence exercised by the general character of the subjects, and he touched also upon the tender topic of d-ficient space and unfair appropriation of it. He takes. these same points up again, and considers that the influence of the foreign schools is, if anything, less perceptible; the general tone of the subjects pleas, s him less than last sea• son, while the standard subjects of complaint—the deficiency of space and the unfair distribution of it—are passed over with very moderate reprehension, considering the fervour which the writer shows on the matter in other parts. " A Campaigner at Home" is, as usual, very attractive in his meditations. He discourses this time about idealism and idealists, and realists, too, may take pleasure in what ho says. The present essay is the best he has yet given us, and it would be well it the narrow materialism of the present day could catch a little more of its prevailing spirit. " rhe Judges of England" is the title of a paper which gives a series of brief photographic por traits of our judicial functionaries, not, hem ever, painting them in two flattering colours. " Two Chapters " is the somewhat singular heading of a little paper that discourses chiefly on the malevolence of gossip. This formidable enemy would have less power for mischief if every one fol lowed the sensible advice of the old Earl Marischals. According to this author, over the door of each of their castles were inscribed these words — "They haif sayd; Qhat sayd they ? Lat them say 1" We fear that modern common sense is far from reaching that point. Miss Cobbe contributes an essay on ►he " Morals of Literature," a weighty subject, somewhat heavily treated, unquestionably souni in principle. The story of " Gilbert Rugge " proceeds, and promises to be interesting as the story becomes more advanced. Several poetical contribu tions are scattered through the number, of none of which cart we speak very highly. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—Mr. Dudley Cos- THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—This is a better number than usual of the St. James's being more varied in its contents than is customary. The story of the "Man in Chains" which has for the last several months been the cheval de bataille, is brought to a conclusion, and certainly the author follows the sensational fashion of his time to the extreme, The lovers of excitement cannot possibly find any fault with these concluding chapters, which include the recovery of a fortune, the loss of an old estate, a double forgery, and a double murder. There are also some incidental circum stances which render these events still more extraordinary. Thus, the estate which Lord Montalban loses proves tobelong to Silvester Langdale, his son-in-law, and this astounding fact only becomes known in the court in which be is con ducting his father-in-law's case, in his capacityas barrister. The particulars of the forgery are still more original, but we will leave the admirers of the marvellous to discover them for themselves. "Among the Hops" is the title of a pleasant chapter on our English vineyards, which the writer styles the most graceful of agricultural products. The plant itself, which is generally supposed to be indi genous to this country, was, he tells uiz, brought from Flanders at the beginning of the sixteenth century, but it has certainly naturalised itself since that time to very good purpose. A paper on poor " John Clare," whose story is one of the most mournful chepters in literary history, is well worth reading, and is written in a kindly and appre ciative spirit. It is to be hoped that patrons and poets will alike taka warning—the one of the difficulty and dan ger of transplanting a man from his native sphere, and the other of the fickleness of popular favour, and the transient nature of fame so easily won. The "Records of an 011 Police Court" stow some entertaining varieties of felon life, and " Art in Aid of Beauty" gives some directions to ladies as to the choice of colours, &c., many of which are, we fear, too elaborate to be impressive. There are several other tales and sketches, besides various poetical contribu tions of no very high order of merit. MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—" The Hillyars and he Burrows" still occupies the prominent place in Macmillan. As the reader might have inferred from the last chapter, old Sir George has died intestate, and Erne Hillyar is consequently turned adrift upon the world. He resolves to share the Burtons' fortunes, and to go with them to Australia, but Emma, whose conduct appears to be extravagant and unreasonable, objects to such a course. Mr Maurice, whose name is better known as a theologian than a politician, discourses about corruption at elections, tel,o, having completed his history of Mr. G timshaw's adventures, has now commenced the narrative of Mr. Tomkins's summer tour As may be conjectured from the title, it ib similar in style and character to its predecessor. Mts. Flushby concludes her Danish story of'' Mrs alliance," and it is satisfactory to find that Helena dis covers the worthlessness of her noble lover in good time. E 4 r ;'x'%ic?~~Fl -:i~'~?'` Qx Francis Jima gives us an article on Ben Junson's morose and similar unhappy mortals. Messrs. Bass and Babbage will read the essay with great sympathy and approbation. The overwrought condition of nerves, which is too often the penalty of excessive mental application, is a melancholy picture. The troubled and change ul life of Queen Hortense, the mother of Napoleon 111., is briefly chronicled in an interesting paper. Dr. Michelson shows " Lottery and Hazard" in their true colours, but they are not so dangerously fascinat ing here as abroad. In this country we reserve our games of hazard for our financial speculations. " The Steamboat to St. Cloud" gives an animated picture of a traveller's adventures. "Street Trades in Paris" is another French paper well worth reading, and a notioe of Mr Kirwan's book on " Dinners, Wines, and Desserts" will help to enlighten the uninitiated respecting the secrets of good living. The editor's story of "John Law" proceeds with undiminished and plainly tells us that a good many very respectalle people are guilty of exercising illegal influence, directly or indirectly. The Editor's Recollections of Dead Men whom he has known are this month especially interesting, for they recall Dr Chalmers. Another literary portrait is given us by Mr Dicey, who portrays Nathaniel Hawthorne with a careful and discriminative hand. He was, according to th s writer, quite out of harmony with his people and his time, belonging rather to that race of scholars and philoso phers who love to dream in their studies than to the hard bustling business world of the United States. "How he ever came to have been born in that bustling New World became, from the first moment I knew him, an increasing mystery to me. If ever a man was out of his right ele ment. it was Hawthorne. He belonged indeed to that scattered Shandean family who never are in their right places wherever they happen to be born—to that race of Hamlets to whom the world is always out of joint any where." The portrait thus drawn is not a pleasing one, though probably lifelike. "A Son of the Soil" proceeds with interest, though it is rather diffuse; and "The Last Days of Sonderborg" gives a description of the quiet home his of the little town a few days before its bombardment. The National Association for the Promotion of Social Science. spirit. THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The opening article is on Edmond About's work on " Progress," and is well written and interesting. " The Dinner Test of Grief" is a curious paper, commenting on the effects of anxiety or sorrow upon appetite. " Irving at Sunnyside" gives us some pleasant pictures of the author. It is remarked that even in an age when successful authorship has been so abundantly remu nerated, few have been so fortunate as Irving. From his English copyrights he had derived upwards of twelve thou sand pounds, and in his native country more than 150,000 dollars. The stories of "Strathmore" and "The Quest" are continued, and that of " Won Over" concluded, so that the lovers of fiction have nothing .o complain of. Another story of a sadder and deeper interest is began in the first part of a tale of Cawnpore. " The Parting on the Prairie" is a sketch of American life, and " The Reign of White Terror" gives a dismal picture of the work of an infuriated and unreasoning mob. CORNHILL.—" Brother Jacob" is the first subject in this number of this periodical. It is a very clever story, quite original in its plot, and is a good defi nition of the manner in which ' the most cunning time undere when hE, are often entrapped, The poor idiot, with his unt qual powers, was the means of br inging the delinquent to detection, and that at the up h e was on th- point of making his plan s p erfect, and obtainin g a good connection in the lace where y were seated at tea, is wpharetre h h r a y a set an assumed name.

" My Three Days' Dictator ship" is a conduit tgn a ppeared in this m agaz i n e Turnpikes" is a very interesting sketch ° h an t i t ma e ig t o e r dg i t n of Yle those tolls. Five hundred years ago the first was made, and William Phelippe, a hermit, was " the father of that race of turnpike-keepers, whose sovereignty of the roads within 50 miles of London came to an end on the istof July of this present year," It is always desirable to und erstand , the peculiarities of any institution, and this resume of turnpikes will attract many readers. " Margaret The National Association tor the Promotion of Socia 1 Science will hold its eighth annual meeting in the city of York, from the 22d to the 29[h of September, under the presidency of Lord Brougham.

This business has for half a century bee in the highest re ute, not only in En4l ud, but throughout the whole of Europe. It still maintains its prestige, and is Largely in creasing each year. The property c,rmprises the valuable musical copyrights of the firm, embracing the largest collection of music extant. The stuck of pianofortes and other musical i. struments for sale and hire one of the most extensive in the metropolis— is, .nr, has for a long time been, highly remunerative.

The Duke of Somerset, First Lord of the Admiralty, de livered the prizes yesterday to the successful pupils on board the school-frigate Conway. Mr C. Mozley, the Mayor of Liverpool, presided, and amongst those present were— Lord E. St. Maur, Admiral Sir F. Grey, Captain Hall, Ad miral Robinson, Admiral Evans, Colonel Sir John Jones, Mr Charles Mozley (mayor of Liverpool), Mr. John Laird, M.P., Mr J. Bramley-Moore, M.P., Mr J. C. Ewart, M.P., Lieutenant- Colonel M'lver, Mr R. Brocklebank, Mr James Beasley, Mr J. B. Thomson, Captain Sproule, Mr Joseph Hubback, Mr Horace Turner, Mr S. G. Rathbone, Mr J. A. Tobin, Captain Paynter, Captain Fisher, R.N., Mr David Myer, Mr Brandon Mozley, Mr Lewin Mezley, Mr John Cropper, Captain Mown, and Mr J. Clint. After some remarks from the Mayor—v.ho stated that five years ago the school commenced with 17 pupils, and that it now mustered 123—the prizes were awarded. They consisted of books, nautical instruments; the gold medal of he Liverpool Mercantile Marine Service Association (for 112 e greatest general proficiency in all branches of training and educatiOn) ; a naval cadetship, presented by the Duke of Somerset, won by J. A. Ward; and Admiral Eden's nomination to a second-class naval cadetship, won by E. 11. H. Mosson. There was also a prize for proficiency in nautical astronomy, given by Mr Brocklebank, and another given by the Mayor for practical seamanship. The awards having been made, the successful boys being heartily cheered by the ladies and gentlemen present, The Duke of SOMERSET said—Mr Mayor and ladies and gentlemen, it has been a great pleasure to me to attend here to-day and see the good work of this institution. I think ft has become one of the most valuable institutions of the country; for what we want is a more educated class of sea men. In the progress of the world all classes must exert themselves more and more to adapt themselves to the in creased proficiency of the age, and I look wish great interest and pleasure to the progress which has been made here since this school was established. And now a word or two to the boys who has e go. priz s. I would say to them, that to get prizes in early life is well, but remember it is nothing unless you persevere afterwards. It you have obtained prizes and hen afterwards lose your time, you have done worse than nothing. You must use the abilities you possess regularly, cuutinually, and well, or you will not rise in the profes sion which you have chosen or in the general estimation of society. To those who have not obtained prizes I would say, do not be discouraged, for many who in the bginning of life have not started with advantage have yet won the race in the end. It is by steady perseverance that you will get on, and to be discouraged at once is a great mistake. Aany of the first men in the country who failed in early e, and at the beginning of their career, have by perseve rance risen afterwards far above those who seem to win at the start in life. I trust, then, that all of you will go on well, and remember this, that, raised as you are by your knowledge and your position in society, you have also this great duty to remember, that you are English gentlemen— and through all your course of life never to do anything that woul discredit an English gentleman. (Apptause ) Keep that steadily in mind, and then, with the proficiency and talents that you have, you may rise to any position in the society of England. (Loud applause.) Mr JAMES BEASLEY then proposed three cheers for the Duke, which were given with great enthusiasm. Mr RALPH BROCKLEBANK (in the absence of Mr Hors tall, M.P.) moved a vote of thanks to the Duke of Somerset, observing that the interest which his grace and other Lords of the Admiralty had shown in the success of the Conway would stimulate the friends of the school to still greater exertions. Mr J. C. EwART, M, P., seconded the motion, which was unanimously and by acclamation carried. l'he Duke of SOMERSET, after acknowledging the vote, said —I can assure you ;hat in giving a cadetship to this institution I have not acted without consideration and thought, and I should not have done it had I not believed that this institution would be well managed by the com mittee, and would be under the care of good and efficient masters. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I called upon Captain Powell, of the Britannia, to know how the boys who came from this school were doing there, and 1 am nappy to say he wrote to this effect :—"Taylor and Finlay, first class cadets, and Weaver, second class cadet, are all doing extremely well. They are industrious, gentlemanly, and remarkably well conducted, and, even allowing that. they were some of the best boys tram the Conway, they rtfieet the greatest credit upon that establishment." Lan guage like this will, I believe, encourage the masters and those who have the management of this ship, to carry on the education as effectively as hitherto, and perhaps with some little addition, for day by day we require a new knowledge in the navy. We must have more education in steam in connection with navigation. It cannot be long overlooked, but must become a part of instruction in the navy ; and, looking to all these things, I say that I have given these cadetships not from any seeking at popularity, or any motive of that kind, but from an earnest desire that t he boys should be brought up in a manner that may adapt them not only to the mercantile navy but to the royal navy of England; and, seeing that these twe navies are more and more closely associated, it becomes of the greatest im portance that this institution should adapt and fit boys for any position to which they may afterwards be called. (Loud cheers.) Mr JAMES BEASLEY proposed, and Captain SPROULE seconded, a vote ot thanks to the mayor, which was carried unanimously, and the proceedings closed with three cheers for the Queen. The Duke of Somerset and some of the principal visitors were afterwards entertained on board H. M. Majestic, and the remainder of the afternoon was spent in the inspection ot the docks, the rams El Monassir and El Tousson, and he foreshore at Tranmere, which Mr J. Laird, M.P., has recommended to the Government as an excellent site for a naval arsenal and dockyard. In the evening the mayor gave a banquet at the Town Hall. The duke spent a considerable time on board El Tousson minutely examining all parts of the vessel. The boat's crew from the Majestic turned the fore turret a number ot times, so as to show the speed with which it would revolve. During this operation the duke and some other gentlemen remained inside the turret. The duke and other visitors also in spected the Agincourt, an armour•plated vessel now build ing by Mes sre Laird at Birkenhead. RE MARKABLE DISCOVERY.—A party of tin streamers who are excivating on a place called Gos Moor, in Cornwall, have discovered a layer of hazel nuts at a depth of 24 feet from the surface, and lying be neath 4 feet of ground that had previously been excavated. The shells of the nuts, of which there were many thou sands, were quite perfect, though black, but they contained no kernels. [ADYERnanscnrcr.] Holloway's Pills.— Preventible Diseases.—Many are the maladies which silently work i ht.ir way into the human system through miasma, noxious vapours, and deteriorated air, which could all be dispos sessed by a few doses of these admirable pills. The vitiated gases enter the lungs as we breathe, and there contaminate the blood, which will convey the poisonous particles throughout the body, unless some purifier, such as these pills, be taken to cleanse it. Holloway's pills expel all harmful matters from the circulation, and cleanse the solids likewise from all treacherous impurities. Is not the whole boy formed from the blood, and the blood only ? How necessary, then, does it become to all wh.) value health to employ occasionally some mans of puriacation, 1 11),213, - ,46 Years endil 1861 SPECIAL QUESTIONS FOR pISCUSSION IN HEALTH. 1.
